Electric Counterbalance Forklifts
Smart Racking Solution for E-commerce, Retail, or Small Item Storage.
Multi-Tier Shelving Overview.
Multi-tier shelving systems allow businesses to fully utilise their warehouse height by creating two, three or more levels of shelving connected by staircases and walkways. These systems are ideal for high-SKU operations, e-commerce, retail, spare parts and any environment requiring efficient picking of small items.
Rather than expanding into a larger facility, a multi-tier system allows you to unlock significant additional storage and picking space within your existing footprint.
Global Materials Handling designs multi-tier shelving around your SKU profile, picking routes and operational workflow to ensure a fast, efficient and scalable solution.
